Stotfold Mill

Sorry been a while again, but last weekend some of us took the opportunity to go to Stotfold Mill with the Friends of Studham Conservation Group so I thought I'd share a few photos. 

Stotfold Watermill, is in an idyllic setting on the River Ivel,  Having burnt down in 1992, it is now a completely rebuilt Grade II listed watermill with three fully accessible floors to view. It was rebuilt and  restored by a huge team of volunteers working alongside mill specialists. Its  the 4.4 metre wide overshot waterwheel is the widest in the country. Here is a link to their website http://www.stotfoldmill.com/

20 of us were given a slide show and talk by volunteers and were then taken round the mill.  

 

We had a superb lunch provided by the mill staff and then we progressed to the Stotfold nature reserve which has only been open since June 2011 but has won awards and is progressing nicely.

 

Thank you FOSC for inviting us and perhaps the Bogtrotters may visit again in the future as it was an enjoyable visit.
